Hiking shoes are supportive, and often water resistant or waterproof shoes which include performance features to allow hiking over rough terrain. Hiking shoes are available in both shoe and boot styles.

Merrell Moab Ventilator Mid Merrells for the summer
March 20, 2013
Reviewer: Craig from Nebraska
I have a pair of the hightop waterproof Merrells that I wear in the winter. I am a streetrodder and attend a lot of swap meets and huge car events where we do a lot of walking. I broke my foot and it healed wider that it was. So I need a wider shoe than before and I need more ankle support. I bought the wide Ventilator and I am totally satisfied with it. My older Merrells are broken in so they are OK not being wide. So now I have a pair for winter and a pair for summer.
Wears this shoe: When its above freezing and Im doing a lot of walking.
The North Face Iceflare Tall GTX Very pleased

Quality material and comfortable enough for everyday wear if desired. I work in emergency medicine and wore these boots to work for a 4 hour shift with the intention of hiking afterwards...well it ended up turning into 12 straight hours on my feet without a hint of discomfort. I've mucked around in them, worn them in snow/slush and the waterproofing is solid. I'm an 11.5 and these fit true to size although they seemed a bit snug on my toes the first day or two however that soon went away (maybe pressure on the toe area while boxed?) Overall very satisfied, when you spend over 90 dollars on a pair of boots you expect comfort and quality and these have delivered. As far as long term quality I can't make any statements as I've only had them about a month.

New Balance MO889 Light Shoe with Right Fit
March 19, 2013
Reviewer: Bill from Lusby, MD
Shoe is nice looking and extremely comfortable. Vibram soles are durable and good for light climbing on slippery surfaces. Unfortunately, shoes seem to be hastily made with glue where it's not supposed to be and what looks like paint overspray on small portions of the shoe. I miss when most New Balance shoes were made in the US, the workmanship was much better. One of the shoes was put together a little off, so there is some bunching of the material at the instep. If it were much worse I would have returned them for another pair, and probably should have from the beginning. I'm a little skeptical of some of the materials used in the shoes construction being able to endure rough wear and being able to last. There is a black felt like material that is already lightly pilling. I have only worn them a few times so I can't be sure of how well they will hold up. I also can't say that they would be worth the retail price, but then again I didn't pay that for them.
Wears this shoe: Casual wear and light trail walking
